Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 865 F.2d 1257 (4th Cir. 1989) Submitted: Dec. 2, 1988. Decided: Jan. 9, 1989. Rehearing Denied Feb. 21, 1989

Thomas Epps, appellant pro se.

Before MURNAGHAN, ERVIN and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Thomas Epps seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.*  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Epps v. Insley, C/A No. 88-965-AM (E.D. Va. Sept. 12, 1988). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.

 *

To the extent Epps seeks monetary relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, his complaint is properly subject to dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), as Epps fails to allege any facts in support of his conclusory allegations
